The recommended steps for using the
F28P55x LaunchPad are:
- Follow the instructions in Section 3.1.2 to begin running the
LaunchPad demo program: Within just a few minutes, users can control and
monitor the F28P55x LaunchPad with the pre-programmed quick start application.
Additionally, Section 5.1 is helpful if there are any issues that can quickly be addressed.
- Experiment with
BoosterPacks: This development kit conforms to the latest revision of
the BoosterPack pinout standard. The kit has two independent BoosterPack sites
to enable a variety of expansion opportunities, such as two Boosterpacks being
used simultaneously. For more information about the TI LaunchPad and BoosterPack
standard, see the TI LaunchPad web page at LaunchPad.
- Take the first step towards
developing your own control applications: The F28P55x LaunchPad is
supported by the C2000Ware development package. After C2000Ware is
installed, look for \F28P55x\examples\launchxl_F28P55X in the installation
directory to find the pre-configured example applications for this board. Any of
the other examples found within the \F28P55x\examples directory can be used with
minor modifications to run on the LaunchPad as well. For more details about
software development, see Section 3.1.
- For applications,
features and benefits information, see the C2000
F28P55x Real-Time Microcontrollers applications,
features, and benefits.
- Refer to a technical
article featuring C2000 Real-Time Microcontrollers about how
developers can take advantage of the scalability and sustainability
benefits these devices bring.
- Customize and integrate the
hardware to align to your end application: This development kit can be
used as a reference for building your own custom boards and circuits based on
C2000 F28P55x series microcontrollers. The LaunchPad also functions as a
foundation for expansion with custom BoosterPacks and other circuits. This
document can serve as a starting point for such projects.
- Get
trained: Review and download hours of written and video training
materials on C2000 Real-time Microcontrollers and related LaunchPads.
